Quick Pastalaya with pictures
Posted on 10/7/14 at 8:38 pm

First and foremost this is a quick recipe for Pastalaya, but it always comes out spot on. Pastalaya is a lot easier than Jambalaya. You can take the lid off, or add more water if needed.
Here is a picture of my ingredients.
The ingredients include:
-one thawed chicken breast cut into cubes
-half a link of sausage cut into small pieces
-pork meat cubed
-one spoon full of minced garlic
-one chopped onion
-three stalks of celery
-one can Campbells French onion soup
-one can of rotel
-one can of Campbells golden mushroom soup
-one pound of spaghetti noodles
1st brown your onion and celery.
2nd add the meat into the same pot, and cook until done.
3rd add the two cans of Cambells soup and the rotel. Use one of the empty cans as a measuring cup, and add 3 canfulls of warm water. Bring to a boil.
Add pasta, reduce heat, and cook until tender(about 30 minutes) Once you add your pasta you must continue to stir to keep the pasta from sticking together. If you do not the pasta will clump together and everything is ruined. Once again, YOU MUST STIR after adding the pasta. Once pasta is not sticking, cover and cook on low for approximately 30 minutes.
Once the pasta is tender, turn off heat and let stand for 3 minutes before serving.
Done in the pot. Notice that it has a sauce to it. You can add more or less water as you go to control the sauce.
Done on the plate.
Fork view.
Don't knock it until you try it. Let me know what you think. This is an easier pastalaya for those who have not cooked it the long way.

Looks like saucy chicken and sausage over spaghetti to me. There shouldn't be that much liquid left over. Either increase the amount of pasta or reduce the amount of water.
ETA Pastalaya is for people who can't cook rice.

Turn it over so we can see the brand and type.

That "pork meat" looks dreadful.

-one spoon full of minced garlic
You say spoonful, so I'm assuming out of a jar, not freshly chopped?

Dear Christ.

Cook the meat until "done" THEN boil it for 30+ minutes? Bet you wound up with some dry overcooked meat.
Finished product looks super watery.

I swear people hang around on this board just to be pricks. Got damn

Looks like something out of a can. Pastalaya should not have a "sauce"

I think so too, some people are chasing kids during the week, school work, coming home late from work and what not and just want a quick meal. I'd eat his pastalaya but I wouldn't enter it into a contest. I'm sure its better than 90% of McDonalds menu.

So because my opinion happened to be a negative one rather than positive that makes me a prick? Wow.
You folks in the "if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all" crowd need to stick to your bingo halls and quilting sessions to get your social kicks.

Take it easy ro. I agree that folks with families and kids don't have time to make every meal a masterpiece....He did say at the front that this was a quick and easy recipe....looks like he executed it.

lol not going lie, thought pastalya was jambalya in pasta form?
Posted on 10/7/14 at 9:15 pm to carlysstiger
I don't make pastalaya. I never have. I have no issues with it.
But holy shite that's awful. Campbell's? No. Just no.
You can make an outstanding jambalaya in less than an hour. I bet a pastalaya can be done in the same way. Maybe I'm an a-hole, but this is bad.
ETA: And fricking Rotel. Just no. This is bad.

This is a crucial step, IMO. Gotta be warm. Don't want the cold water to cause the pasta to shrivel like other "noodles."
